[emet-selch is completely fine, but also slightly late to this because he was busy getting water for alex and chiron... he'd love to get his hands on whoever caused this, and also whoever cursed hansa? this day is terrible, thank you.

but also he shows up after hansa already went to get them water so they just have extra, it's fine. HYDRATION.]

[ water for the water gods ]

You two should be careful though. We picked this up from Shigeo —- you both could still pick some of it up.

[arkitect]

I am being cautious enough.

[he cleaned the heck out of his glove since they had the supplies for it, but he also changed gloves since both his outfits have a pair. they're the white ones he used to wear, now.]

[chanteuser]

Still...

[ look this is a really crappy feeling she doesn’t wish it on emet-selch or hansa in the slightest ]

Caution goes both ways.

[robopriest]

[They're both just going to help Alex and Chiron for the rest of the night, huh...]

[Anyways, Hansa gives Emet a grateful look.]

Thank you for your help.
I'm worried about them both.
What could have done this?

[arkitect]

...it may not be anything organic at all. Do you recall that Alex said she was never able to fly before?

If someone received a poisoning ability, then-- there is truly nothing we can do to stop this from taking its course, whatever that may be.

[robopriest]

Maybe look at those
Those who did not have powers
At home or at all?

[That is, Alex didn't have powers, and she got a new one. Maybe the "normal" ones are the ones to keep an eye on.]

Something to think of,
Who else did not get sick.
Maybe they're immune.

[arkitect]

...that may be so. If it was already used, however, I doubt they were immune to further exposure later. It would be too suspicious to simply avoid being afflicted as well.

[robopriest]

I suppose that's right.
Well, I guess it was a thought.
...I hope you're okay.

[Like, he knows physically they're both okay, but having to tend to everyone else is taxing.]

[arkitect]

I will be well enough.

[but he definitely seems- somewhat tense. he is not relaxing despite being settled in for now.]

[robopriest]

...

[He just smiles, and points to Emet, then to himself, then the other two, and then clasps his hands together.]

[He won't go for another haiku, but he'll just say that in a way to say "we're all in this together, we'll be okay".]

[arkitect]

[he doesn't smile back-- but he does nod, at that. he understands his meaning.]

[robopriest]

[A nod - fine, another haiku, just for you, Emet. He cares about you that much.]

Take care of yourself.
I worry about you too.
We will get through this.

[arkitect]

[ah. the return of the haiku... he exhales a sigh that almost sounds amused, at it.]

No need to worry.
I will be quite well enough.
Care for these two, first.

[emet-selch don't be a little shit about his haikus-- but it does seem to lift his mood slightly, maybe.]

[robopriest]

[He raises his eyebrows...and then lets out a laugh, himself, his smile fond.]

[Jeanne is going to die, four people are dead overall, two of them are sick with a terrible poison...]

[But its nice to smile a little, in circumstances like these.]

[chanteuser]

[ emet-selch that is adorable. she's smiling under blankets where he can't see. ]
